Man charged in theft of $2G in tools

NEW ROCHELLE - A 19-year-old city man is accused of trying to steal $2,109 worth of tools from his brother's girlfriend's home.

Ignacio Valdovinos of 309 Lockwood Ave. is charged with second-degree burglary, a felony, and fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, a misdemeanor.

He entered the Columbus Avenue home of his brother's 17-year-old girlfriend on Friday, Detective Capt. Joseph Schaller said, following his brother inside.

Once inside, he took two tool boxes from the house but was spotted walking away and confronted by the girlfriend's father, police said.

He left the tools and ran off but was captured later on Main Street.
